Suppose mouse weights are normally distributed with a mean of 28 grams and a standard deviation of 5 grams. A breeder is shipping out boxes of 13 mice and wants no more than 8% of their boxes to have mice below a specified average weight. What weight should they use so that no more than 8% of their boxes will have an average mouse weight below that weight Round your answer to TWO decimal places.

Step 1
The weights of individual mice are normally distributed with a mean (μ) of 28 grams and a standard deviation (σ) of 5 grams. This can be represented as N(28, 5). Show more…

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 595 grams and a standard deviation of 29 grams. If you pick 16 fruits at random, then 3% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams?

In a certain lab population of mice, the weights at 20 days of age follow approximately a normal distribution with mean weight $=8.3 mathrm{gm}$ and standard deviation $=$ $1.7 mathrm{gm} .$ Suppose many litters of 10 mice each are to be weighed. If each litter can be regarded as a random sample from the population, what percentage of the litters will have a total weight of $80 mathrm{gm}$ or more?
